• Notes

  From the Records of the Clan and Name of Fergusson/Ferguson and Fergus, edited by James Ferguson and Robert Menzies Fergusson (Edinburgh, 1899) The A uchleskine Fergussons. For several generations Auchleskine has been occupied by families of the name; and the present tenant of the farm can trace his family's connection for over a century. From the Parish Baptismal Register it is seen that a John Fergusson and his wife Janet M'Laren in Auchleskine had, on 21st March 1745, a child baptized named Janet. In 1802 Duncan Fergusson and his wife Mary Stewart had a child baptized, on 2nd September, named Alexander. Mr. Patrick Fergusson, the present occupier of Auchleskine, gives the following as his descent: I. Finlay Fergusson, married Catherine Dewar, held a house and croft at Tighness, in the east end of Strathyre, at the time of Prince Charlie's Rebellion in 1745. (The genealogy continues in the later generations.) --- According to The Ardvorlich History Mary Stewart "married Duncan Ferguson, firstly a shepherd at Gleninishach, Balquhidder, latterly a crofter at Coilcreich." IGI data reveals a probable marriage for them on 1 DEC 1799 in Port Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. IGI reveals that Duncan Ferguson was probably the son of Murdoch Ferguson and Kath. McLaren, bap. 30 AUG 1776 in Wester Achtow, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland.) Balquhidder OPR and IGI data indicate that they probably had the children shown here. Duncan's parentage, marriage and children are not proven. See notes for his wife for more information.
